Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
  • I loved Van Helsing. It was seriously brain dead entertainment but action was great and the effects were good. I loved The Brothers Grimm, that came out the year after, better though. Horror movie, comedy, action. I passed that movie over back then because of the critics, so took a few more years until I actually got to see it.

  • There isn't a hidden time limit, is there?
  • Fallout one was annoying on my first playthrough. But once I knew, it was no longer a problem.

    I dont mind time limits. I would just want to know about them before-hand. Get some kind of hint early on that time matters in this game. Because by regular game convention it never does. Games are usually balanced against if it is a time limit or not. Deus Ex Human Revolution gave that hint, but then nothing else had time limits after that first quest. Thats annoying too, but less so.

  • There isn't a hidden time limit, is there?
  • Without spoilers, I would like to know too. I tried limit my rests at first, but gave up on that when stuff got annoyingly difficult.

    I'm soon done with the first area and only thing I know so far is that on your second full rest theres a small main plot progression. Other than that no quests seemingly have had time limit so far, I could leave them right before a hard boss battle with civilians in immediate danger and can come back many rests later and nothing has changed.

  • You think the next big RPG is gonna measure up to Baldurs Gate 3?
  • I'm pretty sure BG3 and Starfield will be compared anyway despite their differences. Particularly their attitude to in-game purchases and other marketing tactics, and handling of release bugs.

  • Firefox is badly broken for me, and I've never been able to figure out why
  • Downloaded installer or MSStore? I had an issue for a short time (a single version then it got fixed) where only the Store version caused system stuttering.

    Also maybe, you haven't messed with Windows virtual memory page sizing?

  • Could you resist a true virtual reality and should you?
  • Once I can pick and choose my body and change it on a whim, and it feels like my body, Im gonna end up staying in VR unhealthily much.

    Even with the tech we have today, when I first used VR and selected a body for something like VRChat, I started feeling like the body was my own. You know the "fake hand" experiment? Something like that. But the illusion is quickly destroyed as soon as I touch something or movement dont match up. And the effect gets weaker for each time.

    It was such a cool feeling. I want it again.

  • What do you swear by?
  • I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on reddit and hope anyone corrects me if I'm wrong. Works great imho.

  • Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’
  • Not ChatGPT, but other new AI stuff is likely to take a few jobs. Actors and voice-actors among other.

  • "They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate
  • I have come over a few Reddit communities who moved to Discord of all things. I don't get why. That isn't even remotely the same type of discussion platform.

  • Barbenheimer Memes Provoke Angry Backlash in Japan
  • Punching down? It was intended to be a relatively tame joke about the world have been small for quite a while, and pre-emptively make light of those who would think this "being too easily offended" is a relatively new thing. Im sorry if I failed to communicate this correctly.

  • 8BitDo’s $100 wireless mechanical keyboard screams ’80s NES
  • I doubt they do Scandinavian layouts?

    I would love a modern C64-themed keyboard myself.

  • We need only two buttons, 1 and 0. A bit slow to write on though.

  • Barbenheimer Memes Provoke Angry Backlash in Japan
  • Understandable really.

    I do miss the time we could joke about something in a faraway land, and by the time it reached them many months later by word of mouth it would have mutated into something more culturally acceptable. We should never have invented the printing press.

  • Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest
  • I'm pretty sure theres been a lot of christian Bible burnings, theres even YT videos of a few. I cant find anyone claiming all christians are brutal ass-backwards murderers but it probably exist. Not that anyone cares enough to cause a diplomatic issue just for that. Also the "christians" burns other "christians" Bible's too ocassionally, just because of slight differences. Probably a big reason why nobody cares anymore.

  • Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest
  • I dont know how useful it would be. I've read some of the Bible and it seems VERY separated from the morality of real life christians.

  • Season 8 Episode 2 - Children of a Lesser Bog [Discussion and Spoilers]
  • Its the same jokes and the same characters. Feels like no time has passed at all since previous season. I'm not sure if thats a good or a bad thing. On one hand I was hoping they evolved a bit more, on the other hand any changes would have launched the ire of those who expect stuff to stay the same. On a third sewer-mutant hand they tried doing different with Disenchanted, I loved that they did, but it failed.

  • Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many?
  • TIL Muditā is a dharmic concept of joy, referring particularly to an especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, or the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being.

  • What is the dumbest thing sleep deprivation made you do?
  • Crash my car into a rock wall at 30 km/h. I'm glad I had dropped off my passenger because the passenger side no longer had leg space.

  • Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many?
  • For me its less of a contract and more of a built-in instinct. I feel physically ill if I think I unfairly annoy or hindering someone. I dont get why others feel like its only a contract, one which they can break if they want to. But they can and I have accepted it. So I dont despair, they are only human (and so am I).

  • Call of Duty bans more than 14,000 cheaters in 24 hours
  • Huh. Got a nonsense reply like this when I was ranting on reddit too. One person who suddenly claimed "so you just admitted you cheated" when theres nothing in the post about actually admitting cheating. A bot who cant read properly? 😂

  • If you're doing vintage, wheres all the black border memes?

    What were they called again? Demotivational posters? First memes I made. Still got them in a folder. They are awful, so I wont post them.

    Another holodeck episodes

    Saw one actor, Colm Meaney, in Marlowe recently. He still feels like O'Brien to me.

    It's HOT

    Darn hot here. 32℃ is maybe not much for some people, but it will take some time for me to get used to.

    CS1 had game mechanics for cold. You think CS2 eventually gonna get some effects for particularly hot days? In real life crime increases when theres a heat wave. Beaches (and traffic to beaches) fills up. Tourism increases. And many hot days without rain becomes droughts. And chance for forest fires increases. All the air conditioners drains more power, which must be mitigated by having a city with more greens.

    Having a few of these mechanics in the game could be fun. Or annoying when roads you never had any plans for gets packed with traffic, of course.
